91 Machine Tools Also Part of Green Wave ( May. 11, 2010 )


- New models machine parts for wind power generation, minimize cutting fluid use.
- Doosan Infracore is now capable of producing 10,000 units per year, expects 2010 sales to be 50% higher than last year's total.



The world is now riding a wave of low-carbon green growth, and the movement has now reached the machine tools industry as well.

Doosan Infracore has introduced new heavy-duty turning centers and machining centers to produce parts used in wind turbines as well as a new die & mold machining center that is designed to use minimal cutting fluid. The VTS1620M is a heavy-duty turning center targeting the energy industry (wind farms and gas field development). It features the very large spindles and frame to machine pieces are large as 2,000mm in diameter and 1,600mm high, 20% more than other heavy-duty models can provide.

The DBC130L is designed to machine parts that can sustain very heavy loads such as those required by massive wind turbines. This heavy-duty, numerically-controlled boring machine performs precision work on pieces up to Y axis 2,500mm and as heavy as 20 tons.

The NX5000/6500 die & mold machining centers come with minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) systems that spray a mixture of high-pressure air with extremely small amounts (1.0㎛ or less) of cutting fluid onto the area being machined. Almost no wastewater and waste oil are generated.

The Machine Tools BG stepped up its marketing effort for these new models at the 14th annual Seoul International Machine Tools Show (SIMTOS 2010), held at the Korea International Exhibition Center (KINTEX) April 13-18. These environment-friendlier machines were among the 18 models on display at the Doosan Infracore booth. Booth visitors also were given a look at high-speed, highly-refined die & mold machining centers; next-generation, multifunction machining & turning centers; multifunction Swiss turning centers; and high-precision wire-cut electrical discharge machines. The lineup underscored Doosan Infracore's stature as the world's third largest machine tool maker.

Machine Tools BG Kim Jae-seop says: "New facilities investment in the IT and automotive parts industries has fully returned from the second half of last year. We are ready to respond to the increased demand with an annual output capacity of 10,000 units. We expect our factory to continue working at 150% the capacity utilization rate during the first half of this year and we are marketing our new models heavily. As a result, we expect annual sales to be 50% higher than they were a year ago."

SIMTOS has emerged as one of the world's five major trade shows for the machine tool industry. This year's event was attended by all the major Korean makers as well as such big names as Yamazaki Mazak, DMG, and Mori Seiki. More than 100,000 visitors came to the show.
